You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don’t get in the #Titan ?
Don’t get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX
Crawlers and scrapper bots consume a fuckload of traffic, that much is true. But I think it’s a bit too late, there’s already enough “twitter warehouse of posts in X language” to feed most AI needs, at least for coming up with short answers.
Also, I can’t believe Elon did something that could be generally seen as a good thing overall (forcing people to spend less time on twitter)
I wonder if reddit, twitter and youtube all got around a table one day and decided that no, actually, screw the users entirely.
Because they are all doing really bizzare things.
Normally not a comment I’d apply wordy science too, but let’s see if I can do better than an upvote. Because this is exactly what I can’t let go lately.

Authorship of paper is 2016, and we’re always talking about larger populations than CEOs, so there is going to be 0 scientific rigor that can be applied to any study.
Still given the perspective of social behavior being about the product of advocates/bigots on any platform; where are the good, non rent seeking social media CEOs? The standard bad behavior of social networks is always around the issue of monetization, the first wave of ‘well meaning’ people have been replaced with a mandate for profit and a limited playbook. The social contagion was taking buyouts, now it’s turning screws to users.
Weirdly Zuckerberg looks like a model citizen, he’s still playing the growth game.
I can’t think of any reason one would want to stay on the birdsite any longer. What’s the use if you can’t have full access to people’s posts?
Maybe Elon is playing 4D Chess and trying to stop people from turning into Terminally Online Twitter Radicals.
